Catalogue of Molecular Biology Programs Release 6.1 23 Jul 1999 All thanks are in the file biocatal.thanks. ===================================================================== AC BC00267 NAME MOLWT DOMAIN Chemistry DESCRIPTION There are already some excellent chemical calculation programs, DESCRIPTION including CHEMCALC. MOLWT is not as versatile as these, but DESCRIPTION it is much faster for what it does do, and it needs only 50 KB of DESCRIPTION disk space (half of which is documentation). It will run on any DESCRIPTION DOS-based computer. Color is used for emphasis, but the screens DESCRIPTION are legible on any kind of monitor. AUTHOR John A.

COMMENTS SOLUTION.EXE gives concentrations in various units in response to COMMENTS an entered formula and concentration. It works with MW.EXE COMMENTS Can be used at the DOS command line, or interactively. COMMENTS MOLWT.EXE is the documentation file, which can be read on screen COMMENTS or printed in whole or part. AC BC00481 NAME CDB (Chemical Database) DOMAIN Searching databases DOMAIN Chemistry DESCRIPTION CDB is a chemical database with a nice asynchronous DESCRIPTION OOP graphical user interface. Database is provided DESCRIPTION of full featured Rexx interface for reliable DESCRIPTION inter process communication and custom scripts. DESCRIPTION Fully configurable user interface, hypertext manual, DESCRIPTION bubble help, automatic installer. DESCRIPTION CDB runs on every Amiga station with OS 3.x and MUI 3.x.

DESCRIPTION Protein Adviser is a powerful tool for visual and numerical DESCRIPTION investigation of protein molecules and their 3D structures. DESCRIPTION The new implementation for Windows 95/98 and NT uses the DESCRIPTION innovative Microsoft technology for rendering molecular DESCRIPTION graphics known as Direct3D. Using Direct 3D technology FQS DESCRIPTION created the fastest biomolecular viewer available on PC DESCRIPTION platform. DESCRIPTION Versatile features to support protein analysis: DESCRIPTION - sequence based 3D analysis DESCRIPTION - Three level selections: atoms, residues, molecules DESCRIPTION - Display/Hide hydrogen's DESCRIPTION - Display/Hide side chain DESCRIPTION - Hydrogen generation DESCRIPTION - Measure atom-atom distances DESCRIPTION - Compare 3D structures DESCRIPTION - Compare aminoacid sequences DESCRIPTION - Analyze Ramachandran plots DESCRIPTION - Mutate and change side chain conformations DESCRIPTION - Build proteins, change torsional angles DESCRIPTION - Copy and paste molecules between the windows DESCRIPTION - Rotate and move selected molecules DESCRIPTION Windows specific features DESCRIPTION Protein Adviser can open as many documents DESCRIPTION as you wish and analyse them within one program session, DESCRIPTION Protein Adviser implements full ActiveX/OLE2 functionality. DESCRIPTION Its objects (molecules) may be placed on your WEB page and DESCRIPTION visualized by your colleagues everywhere through the DESCRIPTION internet. DESCRIPTION Plotting hydrophobicity and other properties DESCRIPTION Protein Adviser for Windows can plot DESCRIPTION different named properties. The program comes with 3 DESCRIPTION different scales of hydrophobicty, including Kyte&Doolittle DESCRIPTION scale. The program includes also 6 other predefined QSAR DESCRIPTION methods. DESCRIPTION Plotting Ramachandran diagrams DESCRIPTION Ramachandran plots show two-dimensional DESCRIPTION histograms of the values of conformational angles phi and DESCRIPTION psi. These histograms are superimposed on the areas of DESCRIPTION allowed and forbidden conformational angles pair values. DESCRIPTION Aminoacids DESCRIPTION Protein Adviser displays sequences of DESCRIPTION aminoacids as 3-letter codes, 1-letter codes or secondary DESCRIPTION structure symbols DESCRIPTION Protein's 3D structure comparison DESCRIPTION Protein Adviser for Windows allows for DESCRIPTION protein structure comparison command. The program DESCRIPTION superimposes the protein's 3D structures based on C(alpha) DESCRIPTION atoms coordinates and RMSD analysis. AUTHOR FQS Ltd. (Fujitsu Kyushu System Engineering Ltd.)
